Poet's Note: This is just a sad little poem for Yugi and Yami. Not the pairing, just them… just read it and review meh, damnit!

A Little Darkness

They say everyone has

A little darkness inside

But what of me, a hikari?

… "He is my darkness."

--

If you are my yami

And I your hikari

Then what will happen when you leave?

… "For you cannot be without your darkness."

--

I am your light… in the darkness

So what will you do

When we have gone apart?

… "We're bound together, you and I

You and I, for all eternity…."

--

I want you to stay

I cannot be without you

You are not a part of me, and yet

I feel so empty when you're gone

… "My head is quiet without your voice

My heart is lonely without you here…."

--

But you belong in a spirit world

You deserve to rest in peace

But why can't you rest here with me?

… "I am your earth-bound angel

Why do the heavens take you away?..."

--

Be well, my other self

You are a person on your own

Ignore my tears—I'm raining happiness

… "Don't listen as my heart now wails in pain."

--

Good-bye and good luck

Please don't go and forget me now

I'll come up to see you soon

… "As soon as my body ceases to live."

--

You are my darkness….

My protective darkness….

And I am your light—please never forget

… "Or my heart will break in two

I cannot exist without you

And if I cease to be anymore

At least I can then join you… "

--

Go now, as I wave to you smiling

So that you cannot see me… die.

Poet's Note: Yes, I know, that was as depressing as all hell… but let that be something to make your heart twinge a bit… that's what a poet is here to do, right?
